Antique Angel Wedding Chapel

My husband and I weren't planning on getting married on the same day that he proposed, but that is exactly what we did on August 1, 2015! It was the most spontaneous and fun day we could have ever had, and we were delighted to be married next to the Truckee River by Reverend Sandra Van Scott at the Antique Angel Wedding Chapel in Reno, Nevada. Our ceremony was wonderful; great setting, intimate, and the most relevant marriage vows regarding the meaning of Love. We both really appreciated the option of standing near the river. Being two people who love the outdoors, it was the perfect setting. Sandra also really captured some wonderful moments on her camera, allowing us to remember this magnificent occasion! I highly recommend this chapel!

I made a reservation prior to the ceremony... my husband wanted it to be just he and I.. she provided a witness and we were in and out within the hour,... no fuss not extras... I loved it... thank Antique Angel wedding chapel.



Also I just wanna point out the lady that wrote on our souvenir certificate has awesome penship.... I was worried about other people's handwriting especially on something so meaningful... but her handwriting was beautiful :)

The minister was very RUDE to us when my twin sister got married I drove 2 hours to get there. My mom and I were like 20 minutes early. She made us feel very uncomfortable. It was very dirty as well.

Antique angel wedding chapel very professional
Me and my mother and my husband and grandmother friends and family had a wonderful time and was treated with respect and love like we were family I would get married at this place again very kind hearted people.

I came here to accompany my sister on her special day as the Maid of Honor. On arrival we were greeted with what felt like hostility and judgment. We made an appointment prior to our arrival and came in early to ask about the possibility of renting a dress. The women told us that they hated when people came in prior to their wedding to get fitted for a dress.

We came in early out of consideration for their time so they didn't feel rushed and still the entire time they were counting and commenting on the time we spent in the facility.

As my sister tried on the 2 dresses they handed her they made comments like, "is she dumb" and "the groom is in for a treat with her".

I tried to be friendly despite the negativity and even started talking to one of the ladies about her bar she used to own. We decided not to rent a dress after all. As we waited in the foyer for the groom to return from the car to update him on our decision the women started making comments about the time spent inside (35minutes according to them).

At this point I could no longer hold myself back from responding to them. As we walked out I told them "We are leaving, we don't want to interupt". I believe it may have finally clicked in their head that their attitude was uncalled for because they tried to call my attention to talk to me.

We decided this was not the place for us. We ended up finding alternative accommodations due to the service (or lack thereof) we received at this establishment. It was worth taking the deposit as a loss because nothing is more important that having a magical day when you get married.

The minister was very rude to my friend and her family and the place was dirty and she made friend and her family feel very uncomfortable and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone and she had no right to be rude to my friend and her family on my friends twin sisters special day and she should have been more respectful and professional about it and she wasn't so anyone deciding to get married here just don't because it's not a good place it's horrible and should be and need to be shut down forever and she should have treated my friend and her family with respect and kindness and not be rude to them or unprofessional about it Antique Angel Wedding Chapel DO NOT GO HERE TO GET MARRIED!!!!

I would like to start by not recommending this chapel to any couple who is considering it. If a 0/5 stars were possible, I would still rate them -5/5. This past Friday, I was part of the bridal party, upon arriving up until leaving this experience was stressful. For this ceremony, we were working with Bev. The bride and groom made a special trip to Reno before the wedding to tour the chapel, review rates, etc. They were quoted $338 for the total price, which was the total attendance, standard gratuity per their website, and video of the ceremony. After the ceremony, they were charged $400 along with no explanation of the extra amount.
Bev made multiple outbursts, she first began by telling my husband,  who was also in the bridal party, "it would have been nice to know that they wrote their vows." If you are paying for a wedding ceremony, why would it be a problem if you come with vows prepared?
While it was just her and my father-in-law in the waiting area, Bev, unprovoked, stated that "she is not racist, but "There are so many "dark people" moving here, driving around with no insurance hit and running cars." Leaving him feeling uncomfortable and in shock at what he had just heard. She also took my grandfather's boutonniere pin when he was trying to get it on and threw it away telling him it was not the right size when everyone else had no problem with the size of their pin when my grandfather was just asking for some help. Assuming it was the least of things he would get hassled over.
The bride and groom prearranged with Bev they would be bringing their photographer, when the photographer asked if the camcorder could be moved slightly, Bev then asked her, "If she has ever photographed a wedding?" and "She needs to work around it" followed by more degrading comments. The bride and groom also chose a song for the entry. Bev asked and then felt the need to say "Oh my god, why would they choose that?". Again, she is getting paid and not paying for it, and it is none of her business to add comments to their choices for their wedding.
Meanwhile, the guests and the bride and groom are all waiting downstairs in the Garden Chapel for Bev, who stated, "We are waiting for two more people." The ceremony was scheduled for 4 p.m., and it was now close to 4:15 when she decided it was time to start but not before telling others, "It is not her fault."
Before the entry of the bridal party, she very rudely gave us instructions on how we needed to walk and how what order to stand, which we already had arranged where we each were standing, and had to explain to her those at the front of the line, were at the end of the line at the alter.
The most unbelievable happened next when Bev let the bride and her father get up to the alter and then announced, "There was a malfunction, which is not my fault, so everyone go back and start over." I have never encountered a person like Bev, who you are supposed to trust with your wedding, to not make sure she started the camcorder before even the bridal party is walking let alone let the bride meet her emotional groom at the alter and then tell everyone to go back and start over. Myself, the bride and groom, and the other 57 guests in attendance were speechless by this action.
Of course, mistakes happen but Bev takes no ownership of her actions blaming anyone she can for everything. This is something she makes her career out of and she cannot check the camcorder before to make sure it is in working order. Following the ceremony, Bev made it clear the space is only rented for one hour and that pictures and everything will need to be done before that time even though it was she who was twenty minutes late. While the guests were exiting she also told them, "not my fault."
Today, Sunday, the bride and groom retrieved their video from Bev, where she explained to them, "It was the ladies in the green dresses who held up the wedding for twenty minutes."  Well, hello everyone, I am one of the ladies in the green dress who was waiting for her after SHE told us, the ladies in the green dress, that we were waiting for two more people and then disappeared.
I will also be sending this review to their website in hopes that they will reach out with at the least, an apology. It is very upsetting to see the bride and groom leave their wedding treated poorly, overcharged, and traumatized from their experience. Please reconsider if you are even thinking of using the Antique Angel Chapel. If you read other low-rated Google reviews many states that Bev often referred to as "older lady", was also rude during their experience.

Definitely drop by a day early to see how you like the place or the services. Do not put down a deposit. There are plenty of chapels in town. If you had a bad experience, do not worry. It's only Reno, NV. Laugh a little!
P.s: they charge you the moment you set your purse down in the room, so beware!

26 June 2023. We were a walk in couple. Had no expectations which made the ceremony very personal. The Minister of the Gospel was very pleasant she read from the bible which was unexpected and very much appreiated. we really enjoyed our experience and will refer others the Antique Angel Chaple. We hope your business continues to thrive and that future couple will have a beautiful experience. Thank you for what you do you are appreciated

If you're considering a wedding - or like us - want a vowel renewal, please consider using Antique Angel Wedding Chapel. The service was beautiful, and the officiant was amazing. We chose the Lonsome Dove room and it was so much fun! We ordered a silk flower bouquet and boutanniere that were both beautiful. This was a great place to go to celebrate 40 years together!!!
